ProgrammableFlow Networking

Introduced in 2011, and installed in production networks around the world, NEC ProgrammableFlow® Networking Suite was the first commercially available Software-Defined Network (SDN) solution to leverage the OpenFlow protocol, enabling full network virtualization and allowing enterprises, data centers and service providers to easily deploy, control, monitor and manage secure multi-tenant network infrastructure.

ProgrammableFlow SDN automates and simplifies network administration for greater business agility, and provides a network-wide programmable interface for unifying the deployment and management of network services with the rest of IT infrastructure. This open network architecture separates the network control plane from the data plane – centralizing and streamlining network administration.

The ProgrammableFlow Networking Suite enables better utilization of all IT assets for ongoing investment protection as customers add functionality or upgrade their networks. With its SDN offering, ProgrammableFlow Networking Suite, NEC offers a simple solution for complex networks.

NEC’s ProgrammableFlow SDN networking solution is:

Simple – Centralizes and automates control of the network, eliminating fragile and complex protocols and the manual, error-prone processes inherent to conventional networks.

NEC ProgrammableFlow Family of Products

NEC's UNIVERGE PF6800 Network Coordinator (UNC) enables construction and orchestration of virtual networks across multiple controllers within a data center as well as across interconnects between data centers.

Award-winning, network-wide virtualization and application-aware networking. Providing a single point of control and management for both virtual and physical networks, and integrated with OpenStack and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager for streamlined, flexible network management and orchestration. Programmable, standardized, north and south APIs offer a best of breed open solution for the future.

Virtual switch provides OpenFlow-based Software-Defined Networking (SDN) network virtualization in a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V environment. With the ProgrammableFlow Controller, provides centralized control and automation of both physical and virtual networks, and now fully integrated with System Center Virtual Machine Manager, enabling unique consolidation and management of all virtualized resources and open networking to Microsoft Windows environments.

Award-Winning High Performance – A powerful, hybrid, multi-layer switch. It can integrate into a legacy environment, or this switch can function fully with OpenFlow-enabled benefits behind NEC’s ProgrammableFlow Controller.

This hybrid switch is a high-speed enhancement to NEC award-winning OpenFlow network suite with high throughput, low latency, lower OpEx with less power required and a compact footprint, greater scale-out.

Deployed together with the NEC ProgrammableFlow Controller, the PF5820 delivers extensive network virtualization, multipath, security, and programmability capabilities. The PF5820 provides 1.2 Terabits per Second (1280Gbps) non-blocking bidirectional throughput in a 1U form factor.
